Summer Luau Party Candles

I was awakened early this morning to a loud crack of thunder. I didn't mind, I love a good thunderstorm. It was a welcome sound that has been missing for quite a few months around here.

The day has turned into a rather nice one. The sun pops out from time to time, the temps rising and I couldn't resist pouring some candles today. I was so excited when I found these candle holders earlier this week. They have LUAU written all over them so it seemed appropriate to fill them with a tropical fragrance. Can't you just see a nice summer evening party with these Summer Luau Party Candles strategically placed around for ambiance? Way cool!

Glass Etching Projects

This past summer I spent some of the warmer days brainstorming ideas to etch on glass. It was a great project to do while I sat on the porch to enjoy the wonderful warm air. Each piece was unique and one of a kind. They turned out so well that I filled them with soy wax. They have been a huge hit at Farmer's Markets and craft shows, in that people are looking for one of a kind, unique gifts. Visit our Etsy store for more details.

Inspired to Organize

I woke up this morning and decided to pull out all of the soap from the crates that serve as storage and transporting and then used for display at shows. The space I had to work within did not permit the entire display to be set up, but compact and organized enough for what I needed. Everything listed in my Etsy store is in the display. Now that I've got it all in place, I see there is room for more soap, and I haven't even started hauling down all of the soy candles and the rest of the felted bags that I've made and are waiting for homes.

The "table" that the display is set upon is an old free-standing cupboard & counter that I recycled from the kitchen when we went through a remodel last spring. I keep all of my bags, boxes, recycled packing, fragrance oils, and misc. supplies in the cupboard. I've hidden the fact that it is old and in need of serious painting by creatively covering the cupboard with a cloth in an attempt to camouflage the fact that it is hideously old!
